War Thunder's front line, a Counter-Strike squad at your command.
ThunderFront is a solo, commander-from-above strategy mashup. You look down on de_dust2, place real War Thunder armour and Counter-Strike 2 fireteams on the tactical map, and fight for the bomb sites.
How it plays
Deploy War Thunder tanks — Allied: T-34-85, M4A1, Matilda III, IS-2 (1944). Axis: Tiger E, Panther D, Pz.IV H, StuG III G. Every tank's armour, gun, reload, mass and speed are read from your own game files.
Deploy CS2 fireteams — AK-47, AWP and MAC-10 squads, with real weapon damage, clip size and rate of fire from Counter-Strike 2.
Air strikes — call in an IL-2M (1943) strike on enemy positions (the enemy calls in Hs 129 B-2s).
Win condition — hold a bomb site long enough to plant, guard the fuse, and detonate. Lose every tank and the front collapses.
Enemy waves keep coming: armour, infantry and strikes escalate until the site falls or you do.
Everything is read live from your installs
Nothing from either game is included in this download. On every launch ThunderFront parses your own copies:
War Thunder: unit names, frontal armour thickness, engine power, mass, guns, calibres and reload rates from the game's own unit databases; tank and aircraft icons from the game archives.
Counter-Strike 2: weapon stats, equipment icons, announcer and weapon sounds, and the de_dust2 overhead radar.
Both games must be installed (Steam copies are found automatically). No game files are modified, and neither BattlEye nor VAC is touched — ThunderFront only reads.
